Hotels in Costa de la Luz, Spain
Cádiz is the oldest continuously inhabited city in Western Europe, has been a principal homeport of the Spanish Navy since the accession of the Spanish Bourbons in the 18th century.
Cadiz is the capital of the province of the same name, a province that is one of the eight comprising the autonomous community of Andalusia.
The city's peculiar location at the end of a narrow "peninsula" protruding into the Bay of Cádiz lends added charm to this ancient city. In actuality, Cádiz is on an island, which is separated from the mainland by a larger island, the Isla de Léon.
The Costa de la Luz region is the perfect place to absorb the energy of a typical Spanish fiesta and enjoy a taste of the rich Spanish culture. During the summer season towns and villages across the area come together to celebrate a wide variety of events including the world-famous Jerez horse fair in May which features the popular Spanish dancing horses. Towards the end of June, the popular Fiestas de San Juan take place around the region, and local ferias are held in almost every town and village, no matter how small.
The geographical position of Cadiz has played a significant part time and again, in the city's history, commerce, and culture.
Isolated behind its high thick medieval walls on an improbable site in the middle of the bay, Cádiz, on approach from the sea, presents a dramatic sight. Enjoy this historic city on your next trip to Spain, and stay in one of the Meliá Hotels on offer below.
Costa de la Luz boasts some of the best beaches in the country. Long stretches of sand fringed by ever-changing dunes and shady pine forests disappear towards the horizon, lapped by the crystal clear ocean waters. With so much space, it is almost always possible to find your own quiet spot on the sand as you stroll along the beautiful coastline. A selection of watersports can be found within the main resorts, with windsurfers in particular making full use of the sea breeze.
